Gates and doors open really slow. How do I fix it.

Thanks for the link. It's to hard for me to figure out.

Try this; It gives you instructions where to find the place and what to change it to. It's from Hardware Heaven:

THE PROBLEM:

After logging over 200 hours of gameplay (usually the upper 200s) for some unknown reason the doors and gates would stop responding immediately and the spell casts animations would become slow and halting.

The following changes to the OBLIVION.INI file appear to work best in fixing this problem. (OBLIVION.INI is found in the My Documents\My Games\Oblivion directory if you installed to the default.)

Look for and make these changes:


AnimationMult=2.0000
uInterior Cell Buffer=9
uExterior Cell Buffer=108
bUseThreadedBlood=1
bUseThreadedMorpher=1





bBackgroundPathing=1
iNumHavokThreads=5
bForceFullLOD=1
bBackgroundLoadLipFiles=1
bLoadBackgroundFaceGen=1
iMinGrassSize=120
iThreads=9

Out of all those tweaks, AnimationMult is the only one relevant to the issue - but you'll need to continuously increment it if you take that route (and decrement it, too, if you want to use "younger" characters occasionally).

So you're much better off just fixing your save files with an abomb-corrector instead. That also needs to be repeated every few hundred hours, but that's not such a big deal and won't adversely affect your other saves like the suggested INI tweak does.

The Engine Bug Fixes mod also has a fix for the abomb glitch.

28) GlobalAnimTimerFix (v1.6)
Regularly resets the global animation timer to avoid problems with non-actor animations after long playing times.
This bug is widely known as the 'A-Bomb' bug.

sounds like the old Abomb bug

If you use Wrye Bash then you can easily fix this via the saves tab, right click on your save and select repair Abomb from the menu (about second from bottom if I remember right)

You can back up the save before hand if you want but I've never had any problems even when resetting the Abomb counter on a save that didn't even need it
